As of June 1, 2020 River Forest property owners are billed for their water and sewer usage on a bi-monthly basis at the following rates:
- Water: $6.77 per 100 cubic feet
- Sewer: $4.39 per 100 cubic feet
**The combined water and sewer rate has been increased 1% (11 cents per 100 cubic feet). The new combined water and sewer rate is $11.16 per 100 cubic feet.**
The increase covers the increase in the cost of water from the City of Chicago.
Every household must have a $45 deposit on file for water and sewer service. The deposit is billed on your first water bill. Water and sewer bills also contain the bi-monthly solid waste collection fee. (See Refuse & Recycling)
